China has already installed locked gates in some city neighborhoods where you can only leave if you keep your score up (anyone who has heard of 15-minute cities knows organizations like the World Economic Forum has plans to implement this globally).

You can opt-out of this system by cutting off the flow of information that you allow them to collect about you.

Instead, services from Proton Mail, for example, allow you to use email aliases so none of your accounts have your real contact information. This is one way to “compartmentalize” so that your Netflix, bank accounts, government accounts, credit card accounts, and social media aren’t all linked back to the same nexus.

We’ve all been talking about a product, place, or celebrity, only to see eerily similar ads pop up on our phones and computer screens.

Is big tech listening through your phone’s microphone or other smart devices? That’s possible, and a legitimate concern.

But perhaps even creepier is that with data mining, big tech might know what you’re thinking about without even having to listen.

If you don’t take steps to browse privately, purchase anonymously, or shield your communications from prying eyes, you are providing big tech and governments a detailed web of your life.

Log onto your friend’s Wifi network, and they may assume you share some similar interests.

Have your location logged near the coast, and you might have seafood or visiting an aquarium on the mind.

During Covid lockdowns, I swore I spontaneously decided to start making homemade sourdough bread… only to realize I was part of a huge trend. I was being served content based on the homesteading and survivalist videos I watched.

This is bad enough when it is mostly used by marketers. But what happens when the government starts using it against you?

I’m sure you’ve heard of China’s social credit system. It’s like a credit score, but for everything you do. Bought too much red meat at the store? Points off. Consumed Communist Party propaganda? Points on.

It’s all tracked, crunched, and spat out as a score that can seriously affect your life. Good score? Life’s a breeze. Bad score? Say goodbye to traveling on planes or trains, fast internet, and even decent jobs.
